Perry, Plenty of good info and images available with a simple search of 'single bevel knives'.... It seems the single bevel is mainly favoured in the Japanese style of knife for food prepeeration....In that....the back flat side of the blade gives a nice plumb cut on the food whilst the front single...

You'll have to save this knife for all of that fancy sashimi cutting . I believe the japanese sashimi knives have just the one bevel!!!
I have an old set of shears earmarked for just such a similar project some time.
Lovely looking leatherwork....

Re: Neck knife
Thanks fellas,
Jacko,
I planned on trying a plaitt myself but I saw the one I ultimately used for a good price so it was all too easy to run with that..
I am a knife nut and I love all styles but I agree with you...the neck knife format is very handy and versatile..
